Toad the break an was feeling sad.Everywhere he looked,He can see engines moving steadily forwards.They were all confident and cheerful.The same with their pony drivers.Later,He decided to talk to Oliver and Starlight.

“I’m always going backwards.I wish I could have forward going views.”

“You can go forward if you’re pulling a train.”Said Gordon.

“Oh,Wait.You don’t have a train.”Said Rainbow Dash.Toad felt sadder still.Oliver and Starlight wanted to help.

“You are always useful to us,Toad.”Said Starlight.

“She’s right.”Replied Oliver.”You help me brake and you keep my trucks in order when we go downhills.”

“That is right,Mr.Oliver.”SaI’d Toad.”But,It would be so exciting to go forwards for a change instead of always seeing things sliding away from me.”This gave the troublesome trucks a naughty idea.

“Who’s he to start complaining?”Asked a truck.

“Well,He’s lucky you be looking after us.”Groaned another.

“Let’s teach him a lesson.”Said a third.Soon,Oliver was ready to go.Starlight decided to stay with toad at the back.

“It’s gonna be ok,Toad.I’m sure something will make your dream come true.”Said Starlight as Oliver started to leave the yards.The trucks decided to carry out their plan when they reach Gordon’s hill.When they were nearly at the top,They played their trick.

“Ready,Steady,GO!”Said the trucks and they jerked back so hard,Oliver’s coupling snapped!Toad,Starlight,And the troublesome trucks rolled down the hill rally fast.”We’re making your wish come true,Toad!”

“This is no5 what you had in mind!”Screamed Starlight.

“Follow the leader!”Yelled the trucks.Toad was is in a state of shock!

“Oh dear!Mrs.Starlight,Hit the brakes!”Cried Toad.But,Then there was trouble again!Starlight tried to apply the brakes.But,The brake handle broke.

“Uh oh!”Gasped Starlight.”I guess I forgot to oil the brake lever.”The runaway train raced through Calon station.

“Faster,Faster,As fast as you want!”Screamed the trucks.Suddenly,Toad found it fun to go forwards.But,The fun was soon over.A crossing layed ahead and the gates were closed.Toad smashed through the gates!And what was worse,Toad and Starlight realized they were on the wrong track.There ahead was Gordon and Rainbow Dash with the express.

“Get out of the way!”Cried Gordon.Luckily,The signalman changed the points just in time as Toad sped past.

“On!On!Faster!”Cried the trucks.Just then,Toad and Starlight saw James and Rarity with a goods train.

“Yikes!”Cried James.

“Look out!”Rued Rarity.

“Help!Save us!”Ried Toad.A quick thinking shunter switched the points just in time.James screeched to a halt as Toad flew by.

“What was that!?”Gasped James.The signalman warned the station master at the next station.

“There’s a runaway coming!”

“Don’t panic.We’ll send them into the sidings.”Said the station master.Toad and Starlight were now heading straight to Percy and Spike.

“Watch out!”Called Spike.Toad and the trucks swerved into the yard.He and Starlight saw some buffers.

“Good!Those will stop us.”Said Toad relived.But,The points to the buffers weren’t set and Toad raced back onto the main line.

“You gotta be kidding.”Moaned Starlight.Meanwhile,Oliver was racing to the rescue.

“I must catch Toad and Starlight.I must!”Said Oliver determined.Toad and the trucks sped past Henry and Fluttershy pulling flatbeds of building supplies.

“Oh my goodness!”Cried Fluttershy.

“What’s going on!?”Gasped Henry.More trouble layed ahead.Workman were working on a bridge.

“Oh no!If we go on that bridge....”Said Starlight.

“It’ll collapse!”Cried Toad.The workman diverged Toad and Starlight onto old sidings.They crashed through the buffers and splashed into a muddy pond.Toad and Starlight were very exhausted and very muddy.

“Phew!Stopped at last.”Gurgled Toad.Oliver arrived.When he saw Toad and Starlight,He could only smile.

“A pond is the perfect place or a toad.I suppose.Mind the pun.”He said.That night,Toad spoke to Oliver and Starlight.

“I’m sorry if I caused you embarrassment,Mr.Oliver.”

“That’s alright,Toad.”Said Starlight washing the mud off her mane.

“So,What did you think of going forwards?”Oliver asked.

“It was fun.But,I think I’ll stick to the future busy going backwards.”Said Toad.
